- Something most people see as ugly but which you see as beautiful
The world's ugliest dog contest
has picked a monstrosity.
And it assumes its fiendish place,
as a gross curiosity.
It looks like a Chupacabra,
a vampire alien creature.
One look and people shy away,
beauty is not its best feature.
Guilt-free inter-breeders sponsor
a biological freak show.
And this dog’s crowned the ugliest,
in some sordid doggy sideshow.
On the outside, it's hideous,
resembling a weird out monster.
And yet, inside, it's still a dog,
wagging its tail when it greets you.
Forget its repugnant looks,
it only wants to lick your hand.
And from that soft spot in your heart,
please, let him know you understand.
(Quatrain)
